Lord Bassam of Brighton: Until 16 March 2007, DVLA did not have legal powers to bring proceedings under Part 2 of the Vehicles (Crime) Act. This function was limited to police and certain trading standards officers. The courts are not obliged to pass all details of convictions to DVLA so the total number of prosecutions by calendar year is not known.

Lord Rooker: Departments have adopted cross-government sustainable operations targets to reduce energy use across the central government estate. Other associated targets include making government offices carbon neutral by 2012 and reducing the Government's carbon emissions from their offices by 30 per cent by 2020.
	The recently published UK Government Procurement Action Plan sets out plans about how the Government will move towards a sustainably built and managed estate that minimises carbon emissions and increases energy efficiency.
	To deliver against the operations targets, departments are committed to buying energy efficient equipment, including lighting, for their buildings. Departments are also required to work with the Carbon Trust to identify energy savings and to purchase electrical equipment, including computers and televisions, that meet the recently updated list of environmental product standards (the "Quick-wins" list), which include requirements on power consumption in sleep-mode.
	DfES currently has a system in place for its offices which automatically turns off computer base units at pre-set times. Similarly, Defra is currently exploring the use of a tool automatically to shut down inactive computers at night.

Lord Hunt of Kings Heath: A summary of responses to the consultations on the arrangements under Part IX of the Drug Tariff for the provision of stoma and incontinence items to primary care will be published within three months of the date on which the consultations closed, which was 2 April 2007.
	In conducting this review, a key objective has been to maintain and improve the quality of patient care. Given the volume of the responses to the consultation, the department has decided that it needs more time to analyse the information provided. Consequently, no changes will be implemented inJuly 2007 as proposed in the consultation documents.
